Sandra McLellan (Cork East, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I stated in my contribution to Second Stage of the Child and Family Agency Bill that while the new structures were positive, all the best structures and policies in the world will not achieve what the Minister has set out to achieve if they are not properly resourced and if there are not sufficient social workers available to carry out their duties. There is significant concern in the youth care sector that resources will not be provided. New social care places have been promised but they have been slow to come on stream. Will the Minister reassure the House that all children in care are being looked after?
